hi!
I sent a notification about this a while ago, but seems like the
message was lost. excuse me if you recieve the message twice.
btw, i just updated the patch because i forgot to fix m4/getcwd-path-max.m4,
see the bug comments in Savannah bts.
URL: http://savannah.gnu.org/patch/download.php?id=1416
description follows:
the test that checks wether getcwd accepts paths longer than PATH_MAX
works badly on systems where PATH_MAX is undefined, like GNU (aka
GNU/Hurd).
when PATH_MAX is not defined, it means there's no generic limit on the
length
of a path, and thus this kind of bug in getcwd cannot exist, so it
should
not be tested for it.
see the comments added in the patch, they're quite explanative:
